AmeriCorps NCCC serving in South Dakota

Two days ago, an AmeriCorps NCCC team started serving in Flandreau, SD. Did you know that the same team has just traveled from Custer, SD? And a second team has been serving in Rapid City since March 5!

Currently, AmeriCorps NCCC Cedar 5 core team is in Flandreau, SD at the Flandreau Indian School. You can read more on the kick off event from yesterday's post (link). Their projects may include tutoring, development and implementation of a recycling program, grounds clean up and maintenance, and participating in after school activities with the students.

The Cedar 5 team just came from Custer, SD where they served for two and a half weeks at Custer State Park. There, they cut down pine tress that were encroaching on the hardwoods.

The other AmeriCorps NCCC team serving South Dakota is Cedar 6. The team has been at Black Hills Workshop since March 5, completing projects like teaching classes and working with support staff in the Elderly Program, STEPS program, and Suzie Cappa Art Center. Cedar 6 will be in Rapid City until April 21.

Thank you fellow AmeriCorps members for your service to South Dakota!
